Trip Report: Intercontinental Hanoi Review

After staying two nights at the Sheraton Hanoi, I decided to spend our last night at the Intercontinental Hanoi. The main reason for changing hotels; I had an expiring anniversary night from the Chase IHG card. Another reason is why not try and review another hotel 🙂

The Intercontinental Hanoi is about a five minute walk away from the Sheraton. We grabbed our luggage and rolled them down from one hotel to the next. Given that a paid night at the time of booking was ~$160 per night, it’s a great use of the free anniversary night. This is a great benefit of the IHG card which has an annual fee of $49. You get a free night each year around the anniversary of your account opening.

The hotel has a separate checkin counter for IHG Rewards members. We were the only ones checking at that time and the process went very quick and smooth.

The hotel is built with a resort style were rooms are scattered over the property in different buildings over Hanoi Westlake.

We were escorted to our room with the help of the bellman. This room had a much nicer and more modern feel than at the Sheraton. Once you walk in the room, the bathroom is to the right.

It had a shower and a tub.

The king size bed is very nice and comfortable.

To the left of the bed there’s a closet with an iron, iron board, safe, slippers and robes.

Opposite the bed is the TV/mini bar are and a desk.

Views of the hotel during daytime.

The breakfast buffet was very nice and had a variety of western and asian choices.

After breakfast we visited the pool for a short while.

Intercontinental Hanoi Bottom Line:

After staying at both the Sheraton and the Intercontinental; I would recommend the Intercontinental. It definitely feels more modern and updated. It has better amenities. The breakfast buffet had a better and tastier selection of food.
